today's sightings!!!

[Emmayct at cs.com]

Today I was astounded by a visit from a female Pipevine Swallowtail.  She was 
not particularly fresh, but I hope she finds my two Dutchman's pipevines! 
I've always wanted to raise PVS.

Then later, at Wal Mart in Waterford a beautiful male Polyphemus Moth 
literally flew into my hands!  It was about 11:30 am so I rescued it and brought it 
home for some pictures. I'll release him after dark tonight. He would have 
surely been eaten by a bird or run over in the parking lot. It's a lifer for me. 
The only better thing was if he were a she, then I could get some eggs.

Also in Niantic:
American Lady  very fresh
Two Monarchs
Cabbage white
Orange Sulphur

And in Waterford:
One Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

I have about ten teeny monarch caterpillars and am finding new eggs daily

Things are looking up since the rainfall...as you may have heard we 
desperately needed it here in East Lyme
